Marie Colvin body still not recovered My thoughts are with the journalists & photographers still trapped in Homs Syria.

The Syrian government is refusing to accommodate attempts to recover the bodies of slain journalists Marie Colvin and Remi Ochlik, amid suggestions they are now likely to be buried in that country. Aid workers from the Syrian Arab Red Crescent and the International Committee of the Red Cross have also been unable to evacuate journalists Paul Conroy and Edith Bouvier, both of whom were injured when Colvin and Ochlik were killed. On Sunday reports emerged that both journalists are refusing to leave unless the many injuried Syrians around them are helped first. On Thursday Conroy and Bouvier released a video from Baba Amr pleading for help.

A brief lull in the fighting allowed Syrian Red Crescent aid workers to rescue a number of women and children from Baba Amr on Friday. The Syrian Red Crescent published this photo along with their latest press release

According to French journalist John-Pierre Perin who was with Colvin and Ochlik in Baba Amr, he firmly believes the reporters were targeted by the regime:

Evidence of this was also visible in the fact that its satellite antenna had been hit many times by snipers. He also described how the journalists in the city were warned several days before the fatal incident that they would be killed if they were caught, as well as suspicions that their communications may have been intercepted and their reports read by the regime.
